gold cause a local concentration of the basophilic substance, which is normally distributed evenly. Thus is produced the punctate basophilia and polychromasia found also in immature cells. They further suggest that the changes caused by these heavy metals are probably reversionary and due to toxic degeneration. It must be said that the precise explanation of these phenomena has not yet been elucidated. A practical point in gold therapy is obvious, namely, that it is safer to use small doses at long intervals. Gold is also known to induce albuminuria-another reason for caution.
